Thank you, Project Linus!!!

Project Linus is a wonderful charitable crafting group that does some great work!

Project Linus is comprised of hundreds of local chapters and thousands of volunteers across the United States. Each volunteer and local chapter all work together to help us achieve our mission which is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."

Pam Braden, the chapter coordinator for Project Linus in Flushing, Michigan sent us 12 beautiful baby quilts and blankets for the newborns. I'm a sucker for a handmade quilt, so I was absolutely delighted to open the box and see the beautiful things inside. There are gorgeous hand-made quilts and beautifully edged fleece blankets. In this and the next post you can see the beautiful items sent in from Project Linus.

This is not the first time that Project Linus members have sent blankets for Marine Corps Kids. They have supported us often throughout the years, and we appreciate all the donations that we've received!

Donations

We are no longer accepting donations to the Bloomington, IN address. In 2015 we will begin a new direct ship program so that crafters can ship their gifts directly to volunteers on base. Stay tuned for more information about how and where you can ship.
